The cadence rules in 29 CFR 1910.1048(d) are deterministic, but most funeral homes track them by hand on a calendar and miss the second-sample requirement. PrepRoom now ingests the lab report and sets the next sampling date for you.
How intake works
Upload the lab PDF or enter the result manually. The form asks for the sampling date, the result in parts per million for both the eight-hour TWA and the fifteen-minute STEL window, the affected employee, and the sampling and analytical method.
PrepRoom validates the input against the standard's thresholds (action level 0.5 ppm, PEL 0.75 ppm, STEL 2.0 ppm) and computes the next required sampling date.
Cadence the engine enforces
- Below action level and below STEL: no further periodic monitoring required, conditions permitting.
- At or above action level, below PEL: next sample at six months.
- At or above PEL: next sample at three months.
- At or above STEL: next sample at six months for STEL.
- Two consecutive samples at least seven days apart below the relevant threshold relax the cadence per the standard.
Notifications
Upcoming sample dates surface in the dashboard at 60, 30, and 14 days. The owner-director and the affected employee both receive notification. The notification includes the cadence rationale (which threshold was last exceeded) so the director can speak to the schedule when the family physician or industrial hygienist asks.
Retention
Every sample record is retained per the standard's duration-of-employment-plus-30-years rule. Records are archive-only after termination. No deletes.
